How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore
the children of men put their trust under the shadow
of thy wings. Psa 36:7
Parental Support
FCA believes parents are given the responsibility for teaching and training their children in the ways of the Lord ( Deut. 6:6-7). It is our desire and commitment to partner with our parents to provide a quality education which encourages each child to grow academically, socially, and physically as well as spiritually.
FCA depends on the parents to be involved in the process of educating their child. The staffs of FCA are Christians and model Christian life before the students. Our staff treats children with love, respect and dignity.
FCA is a school for the family that :
- Honors the Word of God in their home,
- Teaches the Word of God in their home,
- Believes the parents are the decision-makers and authority over the children
- Or…… for has a genuine desire to learn and apply the principles found in the Word of God for their family.
Education is a tool that is used to teach character and values. One definition of education is: instruction in truth. The Bible teaches that all of the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Christ Jesus (Col 2:3) and true wisdom comes from God (James 1:5). Therefore children of all ages need the Lord and need to be taught to seek knowledge and wisdom from the Lord in every factor of life, including academics.
Child Anxieties
Often our school will be the first separation for you and your child. Sometimes it is harder on the parent than the child. Please remember -- anxiety and fears are normal and may be represented in different ways. Some children cry and some may even take a step backward in areas of development. This is normal and can last up to four weeks.
Some children have additional problems such as language barriers, siblings at home, or possibly a recent divorce between parents. We are prepared (with your help) to handle these “separation anxieties”. Before long, your child will enjoy the happy balance of love and learning at First Christian Academy.
